Raising children in an ancient county

Early the next morning, the family of three returned to Shouyun Village in a bullock cart carrying their bags and bags.

In ancient times, there were not so many derived festivals, so the Mid-Autumn Festival was highly valued by the people.In Shouyun Village, when the men went to work in the fields, the daughters-in-law and husbands of the family gathered beside an ancient tree in the center of the village, with lanterns tied in their hands, and chatting about homework.

Back at Qi's house, the adults were still in the field, only the two brothers Chang Xi and Chang An were peeling the dried corn in the yard.When the two brothers saw their uncle and uncle, they happily ran to greet them. They were sitting in the yard. Qiao Shen unpacked a pack of pastries for the two brothers Chang Xi and Chang An to eat, and said this to them with a smile.

This time when Xiao Changle came back, the originally bright yellow chickens also grew up a bit, and their feathers gradually plumped up.Xiao Changle looked at the vegetable leaves that the hen had been pecking at, and squatted down to pick them up. When the hen saw someone grabbing her food, she raised her beak and pecked at Xiao Changle's fat and tender paws...

"Wow... woo woo... ah... Dad... Daddy... woo..." Xiao Changle was so frightened that he burst into tears.

Qi Shuo got up quickly, and walked quickly to hug Xiao Changle, seeing that the back of Xiao Changle's hand was only a little red and swollen, he felt relieved, and patted his back to coax him.

Little Chang Le's tears fell down one after another, calling for Daddy.

Qiao Shen hurriedly took Xiao Changle into his arms, kissing his forehead and blowing his hands.At home, Qiao Shen was very careful, Xiao Changle was safe and there were few bumps, so Xiao Changle couldn't stop crying this time.

Qiao carried Xiao Changle out of the courtyard with deep distress, not letting the chickens and ducks dangle in front of him.The couple coaxed their crying son and walked to the farmland.

Seeing a dragonfly on the road, Qiao Shen hugged Xiao Changle and chased it for two steps. The dragonfly stopped on the wild flowers by the roadside, and Xiao Changle twisted her body to go to the ground.Seeing that little Changle had stopped crying, Qiao Shen let him down. Little Changle was still sobbing, stretching out her little paws to catch the dragonfly.

How could the clumsy baby catch the dragonfly? It flew away before it touched it, and Xiao Chang happily chased after it.

The two couples were relieved to see their son stopped crying and followed behind him slowly.Little Chang Le ran for two steps, turned around and saw the two parents were still behind him, so he turned his head and continued chasing the dragonfly, ran a few more steps, and turned back again.

Qiao Shen said softly, "Don't be afraid, Daddy will follow."

Xiao Changle turned back and continued to run, the three of them stopped and walked, and then they saw Father Qi's family.

The mid-autumn moon is the best time to dig sweet potatoes. Farmers in twos and threes in the farmland are digging sweet potatoes with their waists bent. Sweat drips down their jaws on the ground. Seeing the abundant sweet potato fruits, the farmers smile.

Hearing the child's silver bell-like laughter, Qi's mother got up and saw Xiao Changle with her small white teeth at a glance, and hurried to the edge of the field to talk to her second son.

Qi's mother stopped Qi Shuoqiao from going down to help, and led Qi Shuo's family to the house, and only then did her son rush back. She was not willing to do so.

Back home, Mother Qi hurriedly wanted to make lunch, Qiao Shen mentioned the spicy food she brought, and asked Mother Qi to order some staple food, don't waste it.

Mother Qi looked at the food box full of meat, and couldn't help feeling a pain in the flesh, "Is it going to cost a lot of money? Is it all meat?"

"Not much, mother, it's not like eating all at once, it's a rare holiday." After Qiao Shen finished speaking, she was a little apprehensive. Did mother think he was greedy and spoiled?

"Just kill a chicken during this festival." And it's not that there are no chickens in the house. With so much meat bought, how will my son live in the future?

Qi Shuo saw that there was something wrong between the two of them, and walked in with Xiao Changle in his arms, "Mother, this is the money Qiaoer earned from selling jelly, we don't often eat it in town, we just try to make it to try something new at home. "

"How much money can I earn selling jelly?" There are so many sweet potatoes and pumpkins in every household that they can't eat them. How much can you sell for things made with them?Are you afraid that your son paid for it?

"I can earn [-] Wen a day, even if the family eats meat once a meal, it's more than enough. Mom, eat as soon as you buy it, don't think about it." Qi Shuo hurriedly wanted to stop talking, and if he continued, something would happen to his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Little Qiaoer, really? Can you earn so much?" Three hundred cash a day?Lu Xiucai from the village is the first teacher for the son of a wealthy family, and it only costs [-] Wen a month, and the second half of the family can earn it?

"Really, mother, I'll make it for you to eat tonight. Everyone in the town likes it very much, and they buy a lot." Qiao Shen wanted to show his skills.

"Okay, okay, but don't waste it in the future. We can eat whatever we want, and give us Changle all the meat. I'm knocking, Changle seems to be fat?"

"It's because I'm fat, I can eat and sleep every day, and it's getting heavier when I hold it..." The adults turned the topic to the children and turned the page.

In the end, Qi's mother just warmed up the steamed buns. The weather is hot, and the spicy taste is more delicious when eaten cold.This is the easiest lunch made by Qi's mother. You only need to boil water and heat up the steamed buns you made in the morning.

Three adults and three children sat around the table and had lunch.

"Little Qiao'er, you have a really good head. How did you come up with the idea of ​​making meat?" Qi's mother was not willing to eat meat, so she picked up some dried beans and lotus root, which tasted surprisingly delicious in her mouth. Spicy and refreshing, the gravy with spicy taste is absorbed enough, the more you chew, the spicier it becomes, and the more you eat, the more delicious it becomes.

Qi Shuo was also a little curious. He put down the bowl and looked at Qiao Shen, wanting to hear his answer. Qiao Shen smiled and said: "After waking up, my brain is turning faster than before. When I cook every day, I just try to figure it out because I am greedy." .”

After Qiao Shen finished talking, he picked up a chicken wing for Chang Xi and Chang An alone. At first, the two brothers Chang Xi and Chang An specially brought fatty pork belly to eat. Although there is little meat on the top, the gravy is mellow and firm, and even the bones are soaked in flavor, making people want to chew.

Little Chang Le ate the spicy taste that his father had soaked in water for him three times. The taste was bland, but he was very satisfied. He was still young and hadn't tasted the charm of chili.

The whole family ate and chatted, Qi's mother felt that Qiao Shen had become more talkative, with a smile on her face, she was more and more satisfied with Qiao Shen.

After eating, the adults brought steamed buns filled with spicy taste, and poured a pot full of tea to deliver the meal to the farmland.Qi Shuo and Qiao Shen also changed into coarse cloth bunts and got off the ground.

Under the persimmon tree beside the ridge of the Qi family's field, Qi Shuo took off his clothes and spread them under the tree. Xiao Changle lay on it, and he began to take a nap accompanied by the breeze.Father Qi, brother Qi and sister-in-law Qi were sitting beside him having lunch, while Qi Shuo and Qiao Shen were wearing straw hats and digging sweet potatoes in the field.

Spicy and seasoned, even if they are not close, people from other farms can smell the aroma of food.

"Brother Qi, what day is it today, you just eat meat? Tell everyone if there is something good to say." Farmers are not so particular, so they come to look out of curiosity, looking at the pot full of meat and lotus root , I was amazed in my heart, seeing that the second boy of the Qi family is really capable, it's not a holiday yet, so much meat.

"Damn, the youngest son is just a prodigal. It's not a good thing." Father Qi also replied politely.

Who knows that person is still relying on it, "The second child of the Qi family is capable, making a lot of money, right? Brother, you have a good future!"

"He just builds a chair for someone to make a table. What a lot of money he can make. It's a joke, he just eats all this year's food in advance, and I don't know what to do later." Father Qi smiled and gave a sloppy eye. Rural people don't have bad intentions, but because they have little experience, they will inevitably be a little jealous of others living a good life.

Qi's mother also said: "It's better for your family. I heard that another piece of land has been opened. I'm afraid it cost a lot of money?"

Seeing that there was nothing to be done, the man wanted to dig himself out, smiled and chatted a few more words, then quickly withdrew.

"Eat quickly, Xiao Shen'er specially ordered it for you, and brought you wine, I kept it for you, and bought a lot of cloth. Oh, I only hope that he will be more sensible and think about Shuo'er and Chang Le, I didn't expect... I've waited until now." Mother Qi sighed while laughing and got off the ground, digging sweet potatoes with Qi Shuo and the others.

After Father Qi heard these words, he turned his head and looked at the two people in the field. The son was bending over to dig sweet potatoes. Qiao Shen carried a few sweet potatoes and put them in the basket. After his son said something, Qiao turned around with a deep smile.

Looking at Qiao Shen who was talking to his son with a smile, Father Qi searched his memory. He had never seen such a happy scene between the two of them before, but looking at it now, he found it very precious.
